Graduate Student, MSHI, User Experience Track

Start Date: 2013-08-01End Date: 2015-03-23

User Experience Track Description Most IT solutions currently in use by healthcare organizations were not designed to enable clinical workflows and patient/clinician interactions. Healthcare information systems are badly in need of more intuitive interfaces that allow for the capture of specific data elements, and perhaps more importantly, model the behaviors and needs of the clinical end user. These new interfaces cannot be perceived as unnecessary, cumbersome, or too difficult to use, nor can they compromise clinicians’ ability to interact meaningfully with their patients. Graduates of the User Experience Track bring is an in-depth understanding of a complex healthcare delivery system, the technologies that are required to support it, and the added layer of best practices in designing safe, effective, and user-friendly interfaces in the healthcare setting. Graduates of the Healthcare User Experience Track in the MSHI program may find employment in a range of positions, including User Experience Designer (focusing on the design of healthcare interfaces to increase efficiency, ease of use, and patient safety), User Researcher (conducting research to identify usability issues, understand workflow, user needs, pain points, and opportunities), Healthcare Business Analysis, Software Developers and Product Managers and EHR/IT consultants.
